      Jellyfish. Do not touch that one. I agree with the other comment. I’d try and call authorities.

      Portuguese man o’ war. Although it acts as a single organism, it is a colonial species made up of tons of microscopic “zooids”. They have a nasty sting, so try to avoid those tentacles

      Definitely looks like a Portuguese Man of War which is a type of jellyfish. They can still sting after they’re dead, and they are extremely painful at best and deadly at worst. DO NOT TOUCH IT!

      Bluebottle – that has stingers trailing under it when floating in the water.

      Beware…

      Not sure where you’ve been on the internet but photos of these things have been all over because of how dangerous they are. I was about to joke around and comment, „lick it.. for science“, until I saw your comments here that you’ve never heard of it before. And no, it’s NOT a jellyfish! 🤦🏽‍♂️

      Don’t fuck with Portuguese man o‘ war (Physalia physalis), not to be confused with jellyfish.

      While jellyfish are single organisms (Medusozoa), the Man o‘ War is a floating colony (Hydrozoa) with a gas-filled bladder (pneumatophore) and tentacles extending up to 165 feet, unlike most jellybells.

    8. Man O War. One wrapped its tentacles around my cousin’s arm and they burned into it. They had to peel them off him at the ER and he had long scars from where they were.

    9. Years ago, my wife at the time and I were in Hawaii on the North shore of Big Island. We had gone down to a beach and she waded into the water.

      While I was on the beach still I saw exactly what you did but a bit smaller. It looked like a piece of chewed up blue hubba bubba bubble gum. While having that same thought of „What is this?“ I noticed another one, and then another one. When I looked out to see my wife in the water I saw there were close to a dozen of them just floating on the surface. It was that time that I heard her say „Ow. Ow ow ow owww.“

      She hurried out of the water and had red marks on her legs.

      Luckily, a minute or so later it hiker wearing a fanny pack came by and instantly recognized those as the Portuguese man-of-war and produced a tube of hydrocortisone cream in his mini first aid pack. It helped almost immediately alieve some of the pain.

      Portuguese man-o-war – give it a little kiss and you’ll get 7 years of good luck
